Answer:
2Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2MgO (s) + C (s)
General Formulas and Concepts:
Chemistry - Reactions
- Reaction Prediction
- Balancing RxN's
Explanation:
Step 1: Define RxN
Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → MgO (s) + C (s)
Step 2: Balance RxN
2Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2MgO (s) + C (s)
- We need to balance the number of O's on both sides
- If we balance the O's, we will also need to balance the Mg's
